Crappy week for rugby

So I have watched and/or listened to  a lot of rugby this week, and to be honest, it has pretty much been all disappointment.  England lost to Australia, which is fair enough, but the way they lost – ill discipline and crappy scrummaging is not good.  Ireland were miserable against a misfiring New Zealand, with only Scotland putting up any sort of fight and only just losing to South Africa.  Other games were a bit blah as well.  then to top it all off, Northampton lose to Bristol by one point.  So that was all round a crap weekend for rugby in my opinion.

On the upside, on Friday I had lunch at Sam’s Chop House, which is one of the best places to eat in Manchester.  The beer there is pretty good too, though I wouldn’t recommend it for more than a few drinks and a meal as it can get really rammed in there.
